Fall 2011 Dictionary Drive :: Help Us Reach Our Goal!
Dictionaries are powerful teaching tools in the hands of adults who are learning how to read; that is why we are asking you to help us "raise" 125 dictionaries for our programs by the end of the year. And today (October 16th) -- the birthday of Noah Webster, whom many consider the Father of the American Dictionary -- couldn't be a more appropriate day for us to begin our first Dictionary Drive! Help us reach our goal...
